Firmware Developer for QEC applications

Job description

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes. Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat. The work: Quantum error correction becomes real when it runs fast and reliably on hardware that can be used by others. In this role, you will build the firmware and FPGA logic blocks that turn error syndrome observations into decisions during coherence time of qubits. Your work will help reduce error rates and latency, and make the system flexible enough for users to adapt and extend. You will join the QEC Architecture and Integration team and collaborate closely with QEC control architecture developers, control hardware platform teams inside IQM and at partners, and the engineers integrating these capabilities into station control software. You will be part of a small, interdisciplinary team...
